Please read again what I wrote above. All the examples you mention
(and I agree with what you write about those) fall in the category
'technical purposes, when doing maintanance and testing'. 
Plus they are about testing and measuring analog equipment, while
the context of this thread is about the GUI for audio plugins.
  
Yes a good scope is an essential instrument when developing and
testing equipment that is analog or has some analog parts, e.g.
AD and DA converters. But it is useless for an engineer making a
recording or doing a mix.
